Review Your Measurements
Just remember that the need for wide shoes is about more than the width of your foot. It also depends on the length (your numbered shoe size) and whether you’re a man or woman. For instance, if your foot is 3.75 inches wide and you wear a size 5, you’ll need a wide fit.

Measuring your feet:
One of the best ways to tell if you need a wider fit is to divide your heel-to-toe length measurement by your foot’s width measurement. Standard shoe width sizes for both women (“B” width) and men (“D” width) are at a length-to-width ratio of about 2.65 to 1.
Can I wear wide fit shoes with normal feet?
usually, many feet with all shapes and sizes get the space they need to remain comfortable in wide-fit shoes. However, normal feet may slip inside wide shoes, as more space may give you pain and blisters. Therefore it is better to go for regular fit shoes if you have normal feet.
